Pectin Powder
Pectin Powder – Natural Gelling Agent & Food Stabilizer
Pectin Powder is a natural, plant-derived polysaccharide primarily extracted from citrus peels, apples, and other fruits. It is widely used as a gelling agent, thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in food and beverage industries. Known for its clean-label status, pectin powder helps create perfect textures in jams, jellies, confectionery, dairy products, and dietary supplements.
